Hello,

Please note that when you are using intraday base interval
AmiBroker makes up daily bars out of intraday historical data.
eSignal provides only 30 days of historical intraday bars to
third party applications.

If you are interested in getting more DAILY history you should 
follow advice given in the Tutorial: How to use AmiBroker with eSignal feed :

"If you want to have long daily histories AND intraday charts you should consider running TWO instances of AmiBroker. 
One for EOD charts and second for intraday charting. Both instances may use eSignal as a data source."

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
